[Qemu-devel] [PATCH 01/15] block: Fail gracefully when using a format driver on protocol level

[Kevin Wolf <kwolf@redhat.com>]

Specifying the wrong driver could fail an assertion:

$ qemu-system-x86_64 -drive file.driver=qcow2,file=x
qemu-system-x86_64: block.c:721: bdrv_open_common: Assertion `file !=
((void *)0)' failed.
